WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE DO
Barnet Trades Union Council (Barnet TUC) is a group of people from across the London Borough of Barnet who support trade unions and want to defend and improve public services.
Part of the structure of the national Trades Union Congress (TUC), our constitution includes the aim: "To improve generally the economic and social conditions of working people, including seeking improvements to the social services, public education, housing and health." We share news and ideas about trade union issues and discuss wider questions such as social justice and opposition to racism and other forms of discrimination.
